Chelsea smashed their way to the Premier League summit with a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Birmingham.

Before the match started, those strange thoughts ran through ‘Birmingham have been in-form… hmm could they? …Chelsea slip?’

But just as Apple started dishing out information about their latest devise, (the iPad – if you’ve been on some other planet) Chelsea showcased their own magic with a superbly worked cross from J Cole for Malouda to head it in. Super Frank settled the rest of the score line with his trademark accuracy.

Apart from the slew of chances on goal and some intense attacking right from the defense, the most exciting point was the way Deco played as the holding midfielder, just when I thought he was losing his presence in the team, this match gave glimpses of the creativity he used to display at Barca. This time as the fulcrum of the midfield. The flexibility available to Ancelloti is downright enviable – a la iPad?

So with 1 game in hand, Drogba returning from Africa and 17 goals in 4 games without him, things look promising. Here’s to a draw this Sunday at the Emirates.
